Why do quoted messages include CSS/HTML code? Why isn't the code rendered correctly instead of shown as plain text? It's so hard to find what I wrote buried in script code:

I was experiencing the same issue for a while. Turned out that my communications preferences had been changed from see images to plain text only. And eBay, in their infinite wisdom, decided that I needed to see all of the code that allows one to see the images as plain text in each and every message.

I don't recall exactly where I found the setting to switch it back to see images, but it sounds very much like your message/communications/whatever setting got switched to plain text only. It needs to be switched back to show images.

If you have never owned a dachshund, no explanation is possible.

Two and a quarter years after you posted, I am seeing something similar although not as copious. I don't want to publish my example as I don't know whether the code contains anything of use to a hacker. I think I had added an image to a Message (the button to do so was there).
